Default Burgandy color certain year(s)?

I am in the market for a 02-04 430 and really like the burgandy color. Was that available during these years or is that an 05 color? I see very few and was just curious. Thanks.

I concur, I see once ina blue moon & she's pretty.
I got with whites & silvers cause they look OK even filthy!
Buy, I could be talked into that purple (or burgundy if you prefer....)!

I have seen them from 2001 all the way to 2006. I think it is called black cherry pearl. Interesting color just don't see too many of them!

I saw a dark red 01 LS430 for sale three years ago but I've never seen another.

I have seen a few for sale lately between craigslist and ebay. I am pretty sure most of them came with tan interior tho. If you can find one with black interior then you would be onto something

Yes. Unless he's talking about the 'bordeaux' interior color...

My 2006 LS is Black Cherry Pearl. The Black Cherry paint looks really good if it is well maintained - very deep color that absolutely glows when clean and waxed. But to look good it really needs weekly wash and polish and wax every 3-6 months. In my area there are 2 other Black Cherry LS that we see all the time and both cars are not well maintained , lots of scuffs and dings, and the paint is oxidized does not look good at all.

BCP was a pretty low volume color, compared to black, silver, whites, and flint mica.

This one ended on ebay a few days ago. Pretty low mileage. I assume this is the color your asking about. I don't know why they call it burgundy, I think it really looks more purple in the pictures. To me burgundy should be a darker red but maybe its just me. Looks like a nice car though.
